How/where do I set that?

yes it is strange- tried all sorts of things but cant max it out so it runs smooth. Will wait for SP1 b4 i try again

After playing about since release of the NGX i came to the conclusion that most my CTD;s were caused by my own greed!! ie wanting the highest settings, the most extreme power etc etc etc Now i have got the balance!! look glorious and runs smooth with no problems hence i say my issues were with myself being to greeedy!!!! thought i would share that with you!! bit of a useless post but hey, there u go! ps, ok i couldnt resist, but the ONLY thing i wish for now, is....turbulence!!! I;m not that greedy:P Kye

Brilliant Richard!!! Many many thanks for this! Will install these later! cant wait! Kye

lol the pressure's on u now!!!!!!!

hmm i have been following this post with great interest! and it seems you got a good result - I am one of those that is a bit scared to play about with textures etc, but by the sounds of it you managed quite easy - is there any way you can step by step what you did exactly so that I can give it a go? That would be great!! Kye

yes it happens sporadically with me too...just hit 'refresh aircraft ai' in ASE and it will be fine

looks great!! how do you get the plane to look so 'smooth'! Mine is a bit shimmery? still a few ragged edges and on 2048x1152 res? UT planes look much smoother than the actual PMDG - do I have an incorrect setting then somewhere? ThanksKye

err try it??

Thanks guys! Getting EZCA right now!

Not sure if i missed something here on the forums, tried to do a search but came up with nothing - basically i have seen SS's and videos of users and u can see the wing from looking over and behind in the VC?Tried all sorts of zoom settings etc, but still cant manage to see the wing tips when i look over my shoulders! Is this available for TRACK IR users only? - something i am getting in a couple of weeks Thanks Kye

LOL Cheers i'm more of a grey goose simmer:)

+2! since my earlier post when i reverted back to the RTM - no problems at all....been a week now and lots of flights..... they cant deny hotfix 3 hasnt caused issues....I will only install SP1 when users like ureselves sayu got no problems:P Kye

Right!!! Think i have some Quality progress here regarding CTD's and on final!So after this morning having 3 ctd's on final approach i played around with some things and re read the introduction manual.I flew twice to LHBP this morning and had same ctd on approach. Also at EDDP. . Flew to LOWW with no problems, and just now completed a flight back to LHBP with NO problems on approach. This is what I did : 1. I removed the FSUIPC.cfg file from modules folder in fsx as stated in the introduction manual.2. I updated my video card to the latest driver3. I went trhough my fsx.config file and made sure everything suggested in the manual was there, and also did the config editor from the link in the intro manual ( i did this first time i installed 737bgx and had no probs till hotfix 3 - unisntalled and had base original bgx installed but still the ctd on approach happened. Not sure if this helps anyone but for me it has worked, I was initially suspecting it could have been the LHBP and EDDP scenerys from aerosoft, but after now landing back at LHBP with no probs that removes that out of the equation. I dont know which of the above 3 made it work.....but I will stick to this routine of removing fsuipc.cfg before each flight ( as it remakes itsself once u start fs). I didnt need to reduce autogen or dynamic scenery etc kept them as i have always had them since i got this pc = v high... Like I said hope this helps people.... Kye

Just did a perfect short hop from LHBP - LOWW - no ctd on short final ..LOWW is Fly tampa scenery. Will do the return flight to LHBP (aerosoft) and see how that goes. I also flew this hop with same graphical settings as always, and i just downloaded the Nvida latest driver. Will keep u posted on the return flight results - (had 2 previous ctd;s on short final to lhbp today) Kye

Yes I think I will try this route then later - downloading the complete new base packagae with hotfix 3 included.

Thanks for that Although I have never had to reduce my current settings before, never had problems landing in a high density airport, I will see what happens when i do this now.V reluctant to install latest hotfix, as when I had hotfix 3 i had CTD's lots of times at random points of a flight! But will see what happens now when i fly to a non aerosoft airport, then reduce my settings...

well...now I am also getting this #fatal error# ctd when i am on final...last 3 flights have done this - approx 3-5 miles out. installed hotfix 3 then had loads of random ctd's, reinstalled original version, worked ok for 2 flights, now this........PS does anyone else experience UT traffic as skeletons when flying? on ground they r fine only when flying? PPS was on finals to LHBP, EDDP, LHBP again - aerosoft airports - so will try another flight to a non aerosoft airpport and see if that helps.

well i decided to uninstall it, and reinstall with the original version i got day after release and guess what? NO PROBLEMS!! plus i got my wingflex back:) have learnt the lesson now - if it aint broke then leave it!! Will wait for SP1 and see comments after that before i would install it....

Hi Firstly let it be known like many of us here - THIS IS A TRULY AMAZING PRODUCT!! Thank you PMDG team.My story is similar since hotfix 3 - I updated only as it does say 'advised to be mandatory for all users' so I went ahead and installed the hotfix 3 after previously from the intial install i bought the day after it came out i never had any problems what so ever. Since i installed hotfix 3 each flight i do i get a 'fatal error, flight sim is restarting' - after about 15-20 mins :( Will now try what Paul has suggested and completley remove the 737ngx and reinstall and see if that works for me - but i thought i would post as it is good the team see that there are people that it worked fine for from the start, but after hotfix 3 some of those people are getting the fatal error....the more info we give the better! hopefully reinstalling will solve the prob and take me back to the beautiful hours i had before i installed it! PS ...please bring back the wingflex as in the original version!! pretty please:P
